When Mina was a child, she cast a spell over the infant Anna to weaken the original sea witch’s curse. She is also the product of rape - a Dark One raped her mother, an act which resulted in her mother’s eventual madness and death. Mina is the descendant of the sea witch from the original Little Mermaid fairy tale. She was my favorite character from A Mermaid’s Kiss. But when I found out it was about Mina, Anna’s grumpy and sometime reluctant friend, I was sold. If I’d based the decision to trying the next book in this series on the first one alone, I probably would never have picked it up.

Many readers like that dynamic, however, so I encourage anyone interested in A Mermaid’s Kiss to check out Jane’s review.Ī Witch’s Beauty is about Mina, the best friend of Anna, the heroine of A Mermaid’s Kiss. I admit I’m not particularly interested in reading about couples featuring the disillusioned, world-weary warrior and the doomed, innocent virgin who falls for him. This wasn’t the fault of the writing or story but simply a mismatch of reader preference and character focus. In the hands of another writer, many of the unorthodox sex scenes would have made me stop reading. Jane reviewed the first book, A Mermaid’s Kiss, when it came out and overall, I agree with her assessment. But since I’m fond of your vampire novels, I decided to give your mermaid series a try.

I’ve been known to have an aversion to mermaid sex. Jia B Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviews angels / Beauty-and-the-Beast / Joey-Hill / mermaid 21 Comments
